Atlanta Public Schools partnered with Sproxte to bring their Fan Upload platform to 2020 graduates in an attempt to remain flexible and lean into technological alternatives to keep their students safe while still celebrating their achievements.
Joseph White and Travis Jones, founder and co-owner of Sproxte, spoke with Atlanta Black Star about their company’s background, the partnership with APS, and how they hope to see their Fan Upload platform used in the future.
The idea of using Fan Upload as a supplementary virtual graduation tool was successfully pitched to Dr. Dan Sims, an associate superintendent at Atlanta Public Schools, and from there the partnership was born.
Beyond virtual graduations, White sees a multitude of possibilities for the Fan Upload platform and Sproxte as his and Jones’ business continues to grow.
“We can get into the advertising, we can get into something to where, if there’s a Gatorade event and Gatorade wants us to do this platform so they can reach the Instagram or Twitter or any of the social media outlets, they could use Fan Upload with their graphics, with their artwork.
